ENGLAND'S HERITAGE 5 DAYS - HIMLEY COUNTRY HOTEL

To the south of Wolverhampton lies the little village of Himley, in a rural setting, which is our base for this Black Country holiday in which we take you back in time to the Industrial Revolution that so forged our country’s development. Himley Hall and Park, former home of the Lords of Dudley, is open to the public, as are its grounds and well worth a visit. We explore the industrial heritage at Ironbridge Gorge and wander the streets of historic towns. The cradle of the Industrial Revolution at Ironbridge, the delightful Severn valley towns of Shrewsbury, Bewdley and Bridgnorth, the serene beauty of South Shropshire and Clee Hills, celebrated in A.E.Houseman’s “A Shropshire Lad” are all within reach of HimleyFull Day Excursion to Leominster and Ludlow
Visit these two historic and thriving market towns with their excellent shopping, architectural beauty and rich history. Pass through outstanding natural scenery famously rendered by Housman in the lyrical verses of 'A Shropshire Lad'.

Full Day Excursion to Ironbridge Gorge and Bridgnorth
Ironbridge is both a beautiful valley and a huge collection of museums from which we have selected visits to the Museum of the Gorge and Blists Hill Victorian Town (entrance to both is included in the tour cost). We return via the fascinating town of Bridgnorth where we have a short stop. (We also recommend you revisit Bridgnorth on your free day using the delightful Severn Valley Steam Railway).Himley Country Hotel
